INTRA-EU BITS, ECT AND THE EU COMPETENCE ON FDI. GREENTECH V. ITALY AND THE TOWER OF BABEL
The paper analyses the issue of the relationship between international investment
agreements (IIAs), with particular regard to intra-EU bilateral investment treaties
(BITs) and the Energy Charter Treaty (ECT), on the one hand, and the EU treaties
from the perspective of the argumentative structures underlying the arbitral investment awards and the positions of the EU institutions and Member States, on the
other hand. The author argues that, following the Achmea judgment, the arbitration community is currently facing an embarrassing incommunicability between
international investment law and EU law: a new Babel’s Tower that threatens the
reliability of the EU legal order vis-à-vis investors and the arbitration system, as
well. A reasonable coordination could and should be achieved not only at the level
of jurisdiction, but also at the merits stage of the arbitral proceedings. Arbitral
tribunals should retain their jurisdiction. However, they should pay the utmost
attention to the substantive standards which have to be applied within the territory
of EU Member States towards European investors. Indeed, the real risk of discrimination lies in the use of different legal standards in the appreciation of state
measures depending on whether the dispute is decided by national judges and the CJEU (in dialogue with the ECtHR) or by arbitral tribunals in radically different
ways. The efforts of substantive coordination between international investment law
and EU law could reach a sustainable result suitable to constitute an appropriate
reviewing parameter in the enforcement phase of arbitral awards before Member
States’ courts
